Quito provides a magical backdrop for proposals, weddings, honeymoons, vow renewals or simply a romantic getaway, with the city’s warm hospitality playing a key role in creating unforgettable experiences.

To this end, Quito Turismo is working to position the city as a prime wedding destination, attracting both domestic and international couples. The city offers a range of options in this specialised area of events to ensure that couples can create truly memorable moments.

Romance tourism has seen significant growth across Latin America in recent years, and Quito has become part of this thriving market. This success is due to the combined efforts of the public and private sectors, which have worked together to establish the city as a top destination for weddings and other romantic events.

This type of tourism not only generates substantial economic benefits but also drives the development of Ecuador’s broader tourism industry, creating jobs across the whole wedding industry value chain.

Events like the “Love Convention” in Guayaquil, which brings together wedding planners, event organisers, travel agencies, hotel chains and tour operators, aim to professionalise the romance tourism sector and showcase Quito’s unique appeal.

Among Quito’s most enchanting venues is its Historic Centre, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The area’s stunning architecture, traditional plazas and magnificent churches, rich in history, art, and stunning shrines, make it a perfect setting for a “happily ever after”.

Beyond the city’s historic centre, the region’s stunning landscapes and rural traditions offer numerous options for ceremonies, whether Catholic or ancestral.
As a city located on the equator, Quito is also known as the “middle of the world”, which adds to its appeal. This unique geographical position contributes to the quality of its flowers and local cuisine, perfect for both decoration and for serving up gourmet dishes at romantic events.
